The Origin of Pagan Idolatry Ascertained from Historical Testimony and Circumstantial Evidence V2 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169355583)

The Origin of Pagan Idolatry Ascertained from Historical Testimony and Circumstantial Evidence V2 is a book written by George Stanley Faber. It is a detailed exploration of the origins of pagan idolatry, drawing upon historical testimony and circumstantial evidence. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume continuing the investigation begun in the first volume. Faber examines the religious practices of various ancient cultures, including those of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and seeks to uncover the underlying beliefs and motivations that led to the creation of idols and the worship of false gods. He also explores the possible influence of Eastern religions on Western pagan practices. The book is a scholarly work that aims to shed light on the origins of idolatry and deepen our understanding of the history of religion. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of ancient cultures and the evolution of religious belief.1816. Volume II of III. Faber was an obscure English divine, the author of some twenty-seven books, mostly on standard theological subjects, or on such topics as The Revival of the French Emperorship Anticipated from the Necessity of Prophecy. He was also a latter-day Christian mythologer intent upon the business of explaining away all myths and gods as simply corrupt versions of the Bible. This is an extensive three volume work detailing the typology between Pagan Idolatry and the Noahic History in the Bible. A must for historicists dealing with biblical history who see much Noahic history within pagan history and mythology. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
